The second cultural workshop went by so quickly! I find myself getting lost in the sheer variety that is represented within the workshop. I was somewhat tired today, but I was so happy that I got to sit with Ankita and Hassan again. Although Hassan seems to be the more talkative of the pair, Ankita is incredibly verbose as well. We spoke about our cultures and went more in depth to the root causes of why we do things. Ankita told me about her 85 year old grandfather, whose punctuality has him up every day at six AM. Hassan told me about the mandatory nature of Islam in Saudia Arabia. Finding the connection between Hassan and Ankita’s holy month was really interesting. I may have been so engrossed with the cultural conversation, that I forgot to do error correction today. I need to find a way to balance constructive criticism with cultural exchange.
